[1] Genera - plural of genus, a category of classification in biology that ranks between the family level and the species level. Because there are many different species of bacteria that are difficult to distinguish, it is more useful to classify bacteria by genus rather than species.

Bloom Description
Volunteer Reports: The HAB is moving south from the adjacent zone to the north 3288. Sunny and windless all day. Had checked earlier at 12:30 PM and seemed like a bloom was incipient as there were clearly cyanobacteria beginning to gather on the surface but not clearly defined bloom. The are also a lot of "junk" on the surface now, including what may be black clumps and a few white ones.
